La plaza tiene una torre -- Antonio Machado

There is a tower in the plaza,
In the tower there's a balcony,
In the balcony there's a lady,
A lady, a white flower.
There passed a young man.
-Does anyone knows why?-,
And he carried the plaza,
With its tower, its balcony,
With its balcony, its lady,
His lady and his white flower.

*****

Original in Spanish

La plaza tiene una torre,
la torre tiene un balcón,
el balcón tiene una dama,
la dama una blanca flor.
Ha pasado un caballero
- ¡quién sabe por qué pasó! -,
y se ha llevado la plaza
con su torre y su balcón,
con su balcón y su dama,
su dama y su blanca flor.

~Antonio Machado
